On a different note, classes are going somewhat well, though Computer Programming will be the death of me.
To continue this post, some musings on life in Oregon vs. life in Chicago:
-It rains here. A lot. And that may sound odd because everyone knows that it rains in the Northwest. But I've realized this as I try and keep my bike dry. Now, once again, this may sound odd, you might say, "It's a bike, who cares?" or, "You live in Oregon, it rains, get used to it!" BUT, that's a little bit difficult because I really do like my bike. Having just received it at the beginning of this school year, I'm still in the "new bike needs to stay shiny," phase, so I try to keep it as dry as possible. I park it under buildings whenever possible, and dry it off as soon as I get back to my dorm after it rains.
-It's warm here. For example, in Chicago the weather right now is 46 degrees, with a low of 35 tomorrow. Here, it is 52 with a high of 60 tomorrow. Needless to say, I will be wearing shorts, and Chicago will be cold.
-I miss Potbelly's. I got a nice wake up call from Jon this morning and he ended by saying he was in Potbelly's and ordering a Dream Bar. This makes me miss those tasty, crunchy, hot subs from that eccentrically decorated restaurant.
[I realized I never mentioned the "Chicago-style" pizza...]
The dining hall was trying to serve "Chicago-style" pizza. Unfortunately, it failed miserably (as you'd expect). They cooked it too fast and too hot, so the bottom burned. And they just double layered everything and didn't make it a true PAN pizza. Oh well, I can't wait till the next time I get TRUE Chicago-style deep dish. :D
